Tata Communications Increases IZO Private Cloud Footprint

Tata Communications has launched three new nodes for its IZO Private Cloud service.

The new private cloud nodes in Germany, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Malaysia enable CIOs to gain control over all their applications by creating a hybrid, high-performance IT infrastructure where different cloud, colocation and managed hosting environments work together.

Different clouds often operate in silos, resulting in a complex environment which can hold back enterprises' digital transformation. The fully-managed IZO Private Cloud service addresses this complexity by enabling CIOs to create a hybrid IT environment that combines the flexibility of public cloud with enterprise-grade security. It also gives CIOs control of the residency of their data, while keeping up with employees' demands for mobile, collaborative and social ways of working.

IZO Private Cloud now spans 13 locations; in addition to Germany, UAE and Malaysia, Tata Communications has private cloud nodes in India, Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK. The private cloud nodes address the needs of enterprises in industries with stringent regulatory requirements, including aviation, healthcare, manufacturing, media, banking, IT, financial services and insurance, retail and ecommerce.

"In today's digital economy, enterprises' growth is fuelled by cloud-based applications and data," said Srinivasan CR, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management & Data Centre Services at Tata Communications. "Yet, the sovereignty and security of these critical assets is a major concern for CIOs. As a global cloud provider with a local presence, we address these concerns by giving CIOs complete visibility and control over their entire IT estate, across all networks and devices, and empower them to drive organisation-wide digital transformation with maximum agility."

The IZO Private Cloud service is underpinned by Tata Communications' global network, IZO ecosystem.
